On Wednesday 14thJanuary 2009 12 children from years 5 and 6 went to Cleefields Sports hall to compete in an athletics championship. There was 1 lap, 2 lap and 4 lap running, javelin throw, chest pass, target throw, long jump, vertical jump and speed bounce.
The schools we were competing against were Laceby Stanford J&1, Laceby Acres, Scartho Juniors, Springfield, Nunsthorpe, William Barcroft, Old Clee, Signhills, Grange Juniors, Canon Peter Hall and St Peters.
Mr Franklin and Mrs Claassen came with us. We came 7th out of 12 schools and we all tried our best to win. Mr Franklin was very proud of us because we only found out that we were going to compete five days before the competition and we didn’t have any time to train for it. The other schools had been training since September. It was hard work but great fun.
The children who took part were;
Courtney Lambley
Natasha Stead
Jack Wilson
Nathan Thompson
Jordan Withers
Ellie Deacon
Dylan Claassen
Morgan Patgunan
Megan Maddison
Roni Beal
Molly Standley
Emma Wilson
We hope that we can do something like this again, and WIN!
